ZeroTrace HID

Recon Mode

Suppress all LED output for stealth operation

recon mode on overrides every LED command — the on-board RGB LED stays dark regardless of script state, autostart, or error patterns.

Primitives

recon mode on        # all LEDs off
recon mode off       # restore prior pattern

Toggle from scripts, the Live Mode panel, or Settings → Recon Mode.

What's preserved

  • Last LED color and pattern are saved internally.
  • When recon is turned off, the LED returns to whatever it would be displaying without the override.
  • Other feedback channels (display on Kit, web UI status indicators) continue to work.

Use cases

  • In-room operation where any blinking light would draw attention.
  • Plant-and-trigger payloads in surveilled spaces.
  • Pair with silenttrace to silently switch transports without visual cue.

The setting persists across reboots — leave it on for permanent stealth, or scope it per-script.
